Condi's Speechwriter

There's a nice little story today about Condi Rice's speechwriter. It's called, The Young Speechwriter Who Captured Rice's Voice. Here's an excerpt:

"Brose said one of his aims in Rice's speeches is to connect her life story -- growing up black in a segregated South -- with the struggle to build democracy in faraway lands. Rice's recounting of the difficulties African Americans have faced in gaining a voice in U.S. society seems to strike a chord with audiences here and abroad, in part because it adds a note of humility to a democracy project that many overseas view warily."
